I received the new Vicks Pediatric Germ Free Cool Moisture Humidifer to try out this season. It has been fairly cold (even here in south Florida) and we’ve had to use the heat a few nights and the dry air is when this humidifer really makes sense! You can use it with Vicks VapoPads or by itself. I was impressed with the large tank, it holds enough water that you need to fill up every other day instead of every day like other varieties.
When I was little I had terrible allergies and we used a warm mist humidifier that probably only exacerbated my issues because of the mold that these types of machines tend to cause in the room as well as in the humidifier itself. I love that the moisture emitted here is cool and that it’s sanitized. The low hum that comes from the unit was not annoying at all. Also, it has 3 settings to use based on the size of the room it’s placed in.
From the manufacturer: “The new Vicks Pediatric GermFree Cool Mist humidifier was just introduced for this cold & flu season – and is the first of its kind. It kills up to 99.9% of mold and bacteria through a patented germ-killing UV light chamber and has an automatic moisture balance system that naturally adjusts output for maximum comfort. It’s cool, soothing mist is also ideal for children’s bedrooms or a nursery”
The humidifier retails for $69.99 and is available at WalMart, Walgreens, Amazon.com and other major drug stores throughout the country. P.S. The package also comes with $3 worth of Vicks coupons inside of it!
Vicks provided me the item to review at no charge. My opinions, however, remain my own.

Expressionery is having a great sale right now with many of their products at 70% off and FREE shipping! I’ve been on their site for 
hours now browsing and creating personalized masterpieces! They have everything from labels to notepads to announcements to cards. Their style is really similar to mine and I find just about everything on their site adorable!
Head on over and take a look for yourself. Click where it says “clearance” for 70% off on the front page. You’ll see a price listed but don’t go by that. Add the item to your cart and use the code MADNESS. I added some cute personalized notepads to my cart and they were only $5.46 for the set of 2. I also found a set of 25 holiday notecards (perfect for thank you notes) for just $2.10! You can’t beat that!
These kind of products make great end of the year teacher gifts, shower gifts (for baby and/or bride!) as well as general gifts for just about anyone in your life!
Thanks, My Frugal Adventures!

I started Nicole's Nickels in February 2009 to bring all of the great deals I was finding to my friends and family and then it took off! Since then I've continued my full-time day job as an attorney while blogging in the evenings and on weekends. I help my clients during the days at the non-profit I work for and then my Nicole's Nickels readers trying to find the best deals for their family! I live in south/central Florida and have 2 cute dogs (see their picture under "mascots") and an amazing boyfriend who has a spunky 6 year old we get to spend a lot of time with. I love telling my readers about great deals and also about the cool products I get to try. Most of all I love giving stuff away to my readers! I hope you'll take the time to
